Ryan Garcia vs. Javier Fortuna Breakdown
Ryan Garcia will put his WBC lightweight belt on the line this weekend when he takes on veteran Javier Fortuna at the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers, the Crypto.com Arena. Put on by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, the main card will kick off at 8 PM EST and can be viewed in its entirety on the streaming service DAZN.
Does the 32-year-old Fortuna have a puncher's chance to take the up-and-comer’s “0”? Let’s take a closer look at both fighters and where things are headed in the build-up for this lightweight clash.
Ryan Garcia (22-0-0, 18 KOs)
Still undefeated, Garcia comes into this fight nearly 10 years the junior to Fortuna, and despite turning pro at 17 years old, still approaching his prime at 23. Unlike many at this weight class, Garcia has a flair for ending fights inside the distance, as he comes into this fight having ended five of his last six in the 7th round or prior.
With lighting quick hands that set up his opponents with his jab before a towering right hand, Garcia is quickly ascending the lightweight ranks, currently #6 according to Ring.com magazine. On average, Garcia’s fights last just 3.59 rounds so far in his career, a torrid pace that he will look to continue in this fight against Fortuna.
The one thing that Garcia is often criticized, though not yet punished for in a ring, is his brazen attitude and confidence which is reminiscent of Floyd Mayweather Jr. He will certainly be tested on Saturday, however, against a fighter in Fortuna who has fought some of the very best in the featherweight and lightweight divisions in the past 5-10 years.
Javier Fortuna (37-3-1, 26 KOs)
Turning professional in 2009, Fortuna is a former featherweight and super featherweight champion in the WBA promotion, racking up the majority of his career wins from 2012 to 2016. Following a January 2018 loss to Robert Easter Jr., Fortuna rattled off four wins in his next six fights, with an NC (Adrian Granados) and a loss to Joseph Diaz last July in a WBC interim lightweight title belt.
